However in a sign his health may not be in immediate danger, justice minister Mohammed el-Guindi said questioning of the former president continued in hospital.

Former UK Prime Minister who is well known for supporting an illegal war in Iraq has told the Guardian that he does not think Egypt should rush for Elections. The people of Egypt have been subjected to 30 years of brutal dictatorship under Mubarak where political opposition is banned and freedoms to speak and express yourself have been stiffled. Tony Blair also stated that the Western Governments should not feel “embarrassed” (shame) for supporting Mubarak even when those Governments have known for years that Mubarak operates a brutal Dictatorship under which the Police act directly as the arms, eyes and hears for Mubarak. Tony Blair also had this to say about Mubarak:

Egyptian State TV has been showing images and video of Pro Mubarak protesters chanting Pro Mubarak slogans. State TV has carried out little to no reporting on Anti Mubarak Protestors which is to be expected when the TV station is owned by a Dictator. Egyptians are clearly not going to give up with the Revolution with another protest march organised for this coming Friday 4th with some calling it the “Day of Ousting”.

Crowds of people have started chanting “Where are the army?” has they start to demand that the Military step in and remove Mubarak from power. Furthermore, Pro Mubarak protestors had started to enter “Liberation Square” where the majority of people against the Dictatorship where assembled. Some protestors attempted to stop the pro Mubarak group from entering before both groups clashed. The people believe that the Pro Mubarak group may be from the Police and Security forces.

Mubarak has addressed the Egyptian people on State TV and is his second time in speaking with a nation which no longer wants him in power. In his speech to the nation Mubarak blamed the recent Revolution on Politics. This goes against the clear facts which show that economic problems along with a 30 year Dictatorship is what inflamed the people to revolt against this regime. Mubarak said in his speech that he would instruct both houses of the Parliament to meet up and draw up changes to the Egyptian Constitution which would place term limits on how long a President can stand for. Mubarak also stated that he would no stand for re-election and he expects to stay in power until the next election which takes place in months.

The Egyptian people reacted to Mubaraks speech by chanting “LEAVE” over and over shortly after his speech had ended. The people of Egypt feel that Mubaraks concessions on Democracy and Freedom come too little too late. The protests have since increased on the streets of Cairo and Alexandria since Mubarak made his speech. It strongly appears that the people of Egypt will not accept anything from Mubarak who they no longer see has their leader.
